And what an ordeal getting these back in shape.
Now that the blower assembly has been rebuilt, it pushes so much air it's a bit hard to hold. I polished the commutator on the motor, replaced the brushes, and soaked the Oilite bearings in Light Machine Oil until they wouldn't absorb any more. Should really make a difference moving air through the car, along with ditching the crud encrusted evaporator core.
And my parts are back from powder coating. They look stunning! I was checking one of the parts when SLW came in to see them. She asked if they were some of the new parts I've been getting from Japan, then she looked closer and said they looked better than new.
These are the brake and clutch pedals and mounting brackets as they came out of the car.
And this is the brake pedal and bracket after powder coating.
Quite a nice improvement, and I didn't have to spend a week or more painting all the parts I took in.
And if anybody knows local insects, this little guy has taken up residence in one corner of the workbench. I got nailed by a spider several months ago, and it hurt. It must have been a little one, because I didn't feel it on my arm until it struck. Quite a surprise.
And Katy stopped by again to say hello....
Got started on the Halloween decorations, so I'll take some pix of that. With The Little Ones getting bigger, we've gotten a bit more elaborate.
Have a good upcoming weekend, and Keepth Thy Head Upon A Swivel!
